I'd like to chime in as well to thank everyone who helped organize, open their homes, and generally made this such a great day! Thoroughly enjoyed myself in the company of a bunch of really great people. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

More Bar stop photos... John & Elena (our final hosts) stopped for a photo op as we left Clairemont:

Next up was a stop in Kensington at Kiwi Steve & Amy's. Not only was their mug and art collection beyond compare, their hospitality was generous- all crawlers enjoyed drinks in ceramic mugs- and that shrimp ceviche was delicious!

Here's a blurry photo of Kiwi Steve in front of one of his many showcases of mugs:

And John oohing and ahhing over some of their rare mugs:

a few of their Munktiki selections:

One of the showcases...

Part of another...

Coconut Shrimp ceviche, Kona Banana Bread...

Walking through the house took you toward the Oasis in the backyard...

The bar towards the back, as the queue excitedly got ready to try the hosts' drinks..

The lounge was definitely a room w/ a view- and a perfect place to enjoy the end of the crawl- and watch the sunset....

(Awesome propane torches- before they were lit- I'm sure someone else has photos of them burning)...

John & Elena's home was a midcentury modern marvel- beautifully designed and stylized details. Unfortunately, I missed lots of great photos- the fireplace in the courtyard as you entered, the large moai mounted on the wall, and all of the art....

Once again, thanks to all our hosts for your over the top hospitality and for showing all of the SD Ohana (and all of its guests) the love. Huge thanks to April for organizing all of this, I look forward to the next crawl!

I look forward to seeing others' photos- I obviously missed a whole lot of people on the crawl. There WERE lots of out of focus photos which I didn't post up- which I'll just have to blame on all that rum....

Well the highly anticipated second San Diego Tiki Home Crawl was a great day. What an awesome time to spend with new and old Ohana groove'n and lounge'n. Elena and I were so happy to see everyone enjoying themselves at the Lookout Lounge. I was going to caption these photos but I think they speak for themselves. Especially after the 5 gallons of libations. I must say, ya'll were look'n good, all dappered and dolled out in your aloha threads. Honorable mention goes out to Vanessa for her brilliant dress. She lit up the day and the evening with it, I asked her if it had an on/off switch. The last tiki peeps hung out around the fire till about midnight. Wow, that was a good one.

Thanks so much to DJ Glen Gorham for spinning the killer Tiki tunes. Also, to Tiki Roy for helping me at the bar and crafting the Midshipmen recipe (recipe below) and Tiki Pat for helping us prep and taking pictures. And a special thanks to Buzzy Meeker for making the awesome bar sign in short order. Thanks Chuck, Michael, Mike, Tim and Michelle for the kitchen prep. And Mike for grilling up the meat.

And to April the queen of the SD Tiki Home Crawl, Thank you so much for putting the whole thing together once again. And to the other Hosts, good job!

And I cannot forget to thank the Tiki Gods for the good weather, the previous weekend would've been a rough Crawl. Instead we had a picture-perfect day, literally.
